I don't know if I would recommend reading Haunted. I actually read several chapters and then put it down because I just didn't think it was well written. I think Invisible Monsters is his best work by far. Or if you like Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker is AMAZING. One of my favorite books ever.

I couldn't agree with you more about Haunted and Invisible Monsters. Thank you for saving me the comment.

And Tom Robbins. Although Still Life is the only one I've read.

have you read running with scissors? its one of my top ten favorite books, maybe. its so fucked up and so good.
did you end up likeing hocus pocus?

I loved Running With Scissors! I read it when I was 15 or 16.. first Augusten Burroughs book.
Hocus Pocus turned out good in the end.. but it was a lot of war babble to get through. It wasn't as good as I expected.
AND HALLO!! I MISS YOU. I'm calling you today after work. 5pm ish. love oo!

oh! i looove YOU! and i miss you UH LOT! :D
yeah i got bored a few times in the middle of hocus pocus. bu the end of the book though, i was really impressed. i really want you to read cats cradle and sirens of titan. so far welcome to the monkey house is pretty good.
